Thanks for that. So, doing simple arithmetic, you were earning circa $360K a year? No wonder you have such a carefree view of tourism industry wages in Spain and Italy. Fat cat time. Good for you. And let them eat cake.

Er, yes, a fat cat, but rather less so than before, in several dimensions.

Tourism wages are low. Poor people need to make a living too. Or perhaps you are one of those guys who wants the government to force the minimum wage up to uneconomic levels? I thought they called those people Democrats. Or adjacent.
